It's worth mentioning that the emissions argument doesn't really hold up considering that it will require 95 million gallons/year in diesel fuel to run the lithium mine, producing a projected carbon output of 152k tons/year. So even if you're willing to brush over the nearly 5 million gallons/day in water supply needed, the fact that its disruptive to the habitat of many endangered species, and pollutive issues related to arsenic and sulfuric acid all in the name of "reducing emissions," it may be worth reflecting on the fact that it actually does the complete opposite.
